The need for critical home repairs is great and it’s growing. Our low-income families endure living in unsafe and unhealthy conditions because their limited resources are going toward essentials like food, medicine, gas, and childcare.
Good Neighbors is committed to providing critical home repairs at NO COST to our homeowners. This commitment is made possible because of the generous support of our donors, volunteers, and community partners. We provide home repairs year ‘round, and your financial contributions make a real difference in the lives of seniors, single moms, veterans, and young children every day.
Would you join us in restoring hope to those in need of a warmer, safer, drier, and healthier home?
Giving online is secure and easy.

Charitable Gifts of Stock
Giving the gift of appreciated stock that has been held at least one year is a great way of blessing our home repair work while giving you, the donor, a wonderful and impactful gift. For example, if your stock has a basis of $500, but has appreciated to $1,000, you will owe capital gains tax on the $500 increase in value. In contrast, if you gift the stock to Good Neighbors (or any other non-profit), the capital gains tax is avoided and the entire amount of $1,000 is a tax-deductible gift.
The procedure is as simple as giving your broker the following information to transfer the shares that you desire to give.

Required Minimum Distribution
If you are over 72 with an IRA, you know that you must take a Required Minimum Distribution. Did you also know that you can designate some of those funds to a nonprofit, which will reduce your taxable income dollar for dollar? This is especially beneficial if you don’t itemize but could be beneficial even if you do. Consider contacting your financial advisor to see if this would help reduce your taxes next year.
